Please help us support people through sight loss
Here’s how your donation can change the life of someone living with sight loss in Norfolk today:
covers the cost of an outreach visit to help someone living with sight loss to access benefits, assistive equipment and health-related support so they can live independently at home.
can fund an exciting social activity for children and young people, like karate or tubing – an opportunity for them to get together, have fun and make friends in a supportive environment.
could provide a full year’s funding for our weekly crafting sessions, giving people with sight loss the chance to socialise and learn new skills like weaving, pottery and rug-making.
